In a synopsis by NME, to give you an idea of what maybe to expect, “the Los Angeles show had 38 songs and lasted for 3 1/2 hours, following the premiere of Sound City. The show was split into sections, with each guest musician playing around four songs, including classic tracks and their contributions to the Sound City soundtrack.”

Tickets for the show go on sale February 5. Check back with us here at SeatGeek for the best deals on tickets.

UPDATE: More on the horizon?

Grohl has revealed that he is planning to play live shows with the rest of the group, which includes Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, John Fogerty, Lee Ving, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick and Rick Springfield, all over the world in the future.

“We plan to do shows all over the world,” the Foo Fighters frontman told Billboard. “When I came up with the idea of taking all these performers to the live stage a few months ago, my idea [was] to have video presentations between each performance. We’ll have that at the next shows.”

As news of new concerts comes about, we’ll be sure to bring you all the news right here at SeatGeek.

Billboard gives a great synopsis of the show. You can read the full show report at the link above. Here is a snapshot: “Taking the stage at 9:35 p.m. Friday (Jan. 18) under the name of Sound City Players, Grohl used the Foo Fighters in various configurations and created a few supergroups to explore the music of Fleetwood Mac, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Queens of the Stone Age, Fear and Rick Springfield, introducing music recorded for the film as they went along. A Herculean feat — Grohl never left the stage — that resulted in an expertly executed night.”
